Knit happenings and many thanks...

An earlier than normal post, as there were a couple of happenings I wanted to chat about. First off, remember to listen to your tea when it sends you messages. :)

You still have time to enter to win a copy of Audry's brilliant E-Book. Details in this post.

Wanted to show off just some of the lovely gifts I have received from friends near and far. My dear friend Meghan made these earrings for me. The cuteness slays me!

Thoughtful and generous Ellen sent these yarns to me. She doesn't know me at all, does she?

Sam reminded me of another project for my sock scraps. The perfect portable project and for a wonderful cause.

A KAL ,I am joining in on, is with the beautiful Stefanie. Perfect time of year for it. Oh and she is also having a birthday giveaway on her blog. :)

How could one ever get bored, or lack inspiration with all these happenings?

Now, for goodies around blogland:

Sweet and lovely Rebecca is celebrating her blog's birthday. She is offerring up some fantastic projects bags created by her as a giveaway.

Melissa is hosting an KAL for her newly released shawl pattern. If I didn't have everything and then some going on, I would love to be able to knit a long with them. Bonus, when you purchase the pattern, 100 % of the proceeds in September through October will be donated.Details here.

The girls at the Must Stash Podcast group are running the Rhinebeck or Bust KAL. I have joined as a bust.

I am sure there are more going ons, if I forgot anything let me know. I will be happy to update it here.

I wanted to say thank you for the gift patterns from my gorgeous friends. Afton (Bethany), Antarktis (Monica), and Cladonia (Julie). I am dying to cast them all on, right now.

Most importantly, thank you for all the kind birthway wishes. They mean more than you will ever know. I love that you spend your valuable time visiting with me. Each and every one of you, had me at hello.

Whew, that was a long post. Hopfully I have directed you to some fun new places to play. Happy Friday and I will see you in a couple of days!

so much goodness, it doesn't surprise me either andi. what lovely gifts, so very deserved. i love that you celebrate all month, my mil insists we do that too. gosh is this the greatest time ever to be a knitter/crafter? enjoy all your new wooly treasures!

Those sock earrings are so cool! I marvel at their size. I'm so glad you know Ellen. She is so fun to read and I'm excited to meet her this weekend.
And oh my gravy! Mahalo nui loa for mentioning my beanie-a-long. It's always so scary for me to go out on a limb like that. I was prepared to not have any takers. I am so honored that you mentioned it.

Just a Thought

“When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
